@Voltus_VentusSure, go ahead. Just make sure it has plenty of sensors and stuff. I'll be honest, plenty of shit is going to try and sneak up on you guys even early on. ahuehuehuehu

Hegemony Rising: Rise of the Terran Hegemony

HSS Karl Pilkington

Length-Width-Height
3150m 255m 650m

Class: Heavy Battlecruiser

Tonnage: 2,100,000 tonnes.

The Karl Pilkington patrolling a nebula.

PRIMARY ARMAMENT
The Karl Pilkington has 6 spinal railcannons that run 65% the length of the entire ship. The projectiles travel 3.75 kilometers per second and impact with 1.25 kilotons of force each. In addition, it has another large weapon system, eight vertical cruise missile launchers, able to launch with either high-explosive burst warheads, or anti-armor fragmentation warheads.

SECONDARY ARMAMENT
In addition to the primary weapon systems, the Karl Pilkington has an array of 32 total anti-fighter/missile laser systems, able to cleave fighters in two, or just ignite a fuel tank. However, while they can fire for long periods, they do need equally long cool-downs. This means that the overall effectiveness of the system may be seriously hindered if a large portion of the PD turrets are destroyed, proportionately much more then similar systems.

ARMOR/SHIELDING
The Karl Pilkington has a 22 meter thick steel shell, supplemented at key points (such as the bridge, spinal railgun tubes, cruise missile ports, and the engines) by a carbon nanotube fiber. As well, the bow has been specially reinforced even further.

COUNTERMEASURES
The Pilkington is equipped with 48 rapid-fire, high-capacity chaff/flare launchers, in addition to 4 medium-intensity ECM generators. The ECM generators are situated with two near the front, and two near the back, on either side.

ENGINES
The ship is powered by 8 ultra-high-heat plasma thrusters, with much smaller, similar units situated around the hull as a dedicated RCS system.
Additionally, it has 1 emergency FTL engine, rated for 6 times the speed of light. However, due to FTL technology at such sizes being somewhat underdeveloped at this point in time, it is ONLY for emergency uses. Thus, it is dubbed the "GTFO Drive".

REACTORS
The craft is primarily powered by one, heavily reinforced fusion reactor. If that's taken out of commission, it has ultra-high capacity batteries situated all around the main hull to provide peak operating power for 6 days, or 11 if the craft is not taken into a combat zone.

CREW
6,800 crew across the ship.
120 fighter-wing pilots, with 35 'spares'.

COMPUTER SYSTEMS
4 low-cost computer networks manage all automated systems on the ship. Each one can do everything, yet they are specialized to a certain extent, with one being focused on combat, resource management, mobility, and fighter-wing assistance respectively.
1 Backup/Emergency computer system. It has all of the specialist code installed, yet is power-costly to maintain. It can also be used to 'supercharge' the ship in general, but this further increases power consumption, and can cause overloads in some systems.

FIGHTER AND BOMBER COMPLEMENT
The Pilkington holds a total of 90 strike craft, 70 one-man medium interceptors, and 20 two-man super-interceptors.

The Medium Interceptors, called the 'Ares Type' feature decent maneuverability, but are most focused on speed and weapons load. To that end, they feature high-speed, high maneuverability anti-fighter missiles, two each in 12 tubes. They have enough power to destroy most forms of strikecraft in two to four hits. In addition, they feature two autocannons. The standard colors for the Ares-Type are red, yellow, and white.
An Ares-Type.

The Super-heavy Interceptors, called Myrmidons, are superheavy interceptor type craft designed to obliterate enemy bomber squadrons. While slower, they have superior armor and defensive systems to assist in this. As well, they have an extreme amount of firepower, with 20 two-missile anti-fighter missile tubes each, 6 heavy anti-bomber missile tubes, and eight high-explosive torpedo tubes. Finally, they feature four autocannons. Their standard colors are white, blue, and red.

P.S. I can change the name into something more serious if you want me too. I am serious about this, but we do need a bit of comic relief now and again anyway.

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

Oh, and @Mcmolly, you just HAAD to pick White-Glint didn'tcha? Not saying don't do it at all, but that happens amusingly often whenever I try to do a mecha thing. Kinda funny to me.

Anyway, definitely approved, it's looking pretty good! However, if you want, you can have just one more weapon. That list looks a little short to me. For some reason I'd add some NC-sized 'demolition charges'. So in emergencies you could just run up to a target and stick a block of c4 on it. Of course, it'd require a lot of finesse to put on a moving target...

In any case, yeah, approved.

Edit 1: Oh, just a notice, before the first IC post, I'm going to designate a 'public' titanpad so we can all collaborate on stuff. However, feel free to make other titanpads if you want. As well, I'm totally open for collaborating a little on the new IC OP. I like collaborating.

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

jesus christ its generating this much interest? I dunno whether to be ecstatic or sp00ked.

Iiin any case, I'm really sorry @RavenxVoid, but we're already sort of over-capacity at 6 people. However, as from my experience drop-outs are kind of common with this sort of thing, how would you feel being 'in reserves'? If a slot opens up, I'll notify you immediately. I'm really sorry that I can't handle a very large amount of dudes, but I'm only one man, y'know? I'd do co-GM's, but honestly with the details and complexity I want in this RP's story, I'm not sure if co-gm's would 'get it', and that just opens up a huge can of worms for me.

However, I promise to notify you whenever a position opens up. Do note, I do have a tendency for 'guest star' players, maybe you could do that? I'll PM with some basic details if you're up for it.

Hearts of Metal: A Giant Robot/Mecha RP

@DarkReconDidn't mean it like that at all. Just joking around yo.

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

Awesome. But yes, @Voltus_Ventus, while I do recommend the party having at least one sensor-oriented machine, feel free to do whatever you want.

In any case, in-universe, melee weapons and combat between NC's is generally a fusion of your standard gundam melee fight, and an armored core melee fight. Allow me to find a video...

Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63Evr5HIN5I, but still a bit more like your average gundam fight. Y'know, combat rolls, jumping over the target, maybe doing a divekick, that sorta thing. Of course, feel free to interpret it as you wish.

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

@McmollyUp by the evening? That'd be wondrous, thank you in advance. Mind telling the class what you're plotting, though? Do note, I believe we have a few 'archetypes' that haven't been taken:

Jack-of-All-Trades (Taken by ADP)
Long-range Bombardment (Taken by m127/half-done by Nutts)
Medium Range-r (Taken by Nutts)
Recon Specialist/General Support (Not taken)
High-Speed Close-range Brawler (Not taken)

As well as anything you crazy kids can think up. Don't feel like you're obligated to be either one of those, but that is what I honestly recommend. As well, just because you'd be a sensor guy doesn't mean you have to be worthless in a real fight. Feel free to bring along a really big gun if you pick that. NC's can take some weight.

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

Oh hey, now that I think about it, what would we all like to RP first? We can get straight to the action, which I usually prefer, or we can do a quick prologue where all the PC's are being tested for NC compatibility and can properly meet before the 'main course'. I'm fine either way, I just wish to know what everyone else would prefer.

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

OH MY GOD PEOPLE I DONT EVEN KNOW ARE GETTING INTEREST?!

Alright ladies and gentlemen. We have space for two other people, but... arghhh... one was sort of reserved, y'know?

Damnit how to do this...
@Gowi WHY YOU DO DIS. Fuck it, @Voltus_Ventus, @Mcmolly, we can handle six. You lucky fuckers. Please bring in your CS's in a few days or so.

Also, "well done"? MY EVERYTHING IS HURTING. What is this warm, happy feeling? It hurts me...

Edit: In any case, sadly changing this to 'full' now, since it's full.
